Large Trees

The trees listed below are recommended for new subdivisions without overhead power lines. These varieties should do well in what are often tough planting sites. The boulevard widths (the area from curb to sidewalk) can range from 6 feet to 15 feet wide, depending on the subdivision. An 8 foot width is the norm. Given this planting area, the goal is to have a selection of hardy tree species that are medium to large in height (35 to 65 feet) to produce shade and slow down storm water runoff, are relatively disease and insect free, and are aesthetically pleasing.
